This seminar deals with sonnets and sonnet sequences written by American poets from Wallace Stevens to Adrienne Rich. Through intent and critical reading of their 14-line poems, students will be able to appreciate the appeal of their works and to develop “the ability to analyze as well as synthesize content” and “the skills to conduct accurate and objective surveys” as outlined in the Curriculum Map.
Edwin Arlington Robinson, who can be considered a precursor of early 20th century modernism, wished that sonneteers would “vanish in irrevocable night.” They seemed to him to be nothing more than poets who composed “songs without souls” in “a shrewd mechanical way.” Robinson, however, echoed this condemnation in a sonnet of his own. When he wanted a poem that would make “the sunset as before” look like a completely new one, he turned to sonnets.
In this seminar, we will focus on sonnets, poems both old and new. And they are American ones. This is because, while there is a tradition in the history of American poetry that can be described as anti-sonnet, there has been an unobtrusive production of noteworthy sonnets since the mid-19th century. For example, cummings, who deviated from tradition and tried such free and original forms of notation and verse, was in the same lineage of free and innovative poets as Whitman, but sometimes returned to the sonnet, experimenting with the old form in an effort to manipulate it in a flexible manner. This class will also explore 14-line poems by Millay and others to unveil novelty hidden underneath as well as the struggle the poets experienced.

Wallace StevensからAdrienne Richへ至るアメリカ詩人によるソネット(やソネット連作)を地道にそしてクリティカルに読むことによって、カリキュラム・マップに示された「内容を分析総合する能力」と、「的確で客観的な調査を行う技能」を養うとともに、作品の魅力を翫味することができるようになります。

20世紀初頭のモダニズムの先駆だったともいえるEdwin Arlington Robinsonは、ソネット詩人など「呼び戻せない夜へ消えて」ほしいと願いました。彼らは「魂のない歌」を「そつなく機械的な方法で」こしらえる詩人にすぎないと思えたからです。けれどもRobinsonはその非難を他ならぬソネットでうたっていました。「以前と変わらぬ夕焼け」を新しい夕焼けに見せてくれる詩を求めたとき、その望みをソネットへ託していたのです。
そこで本授業では、この古くて新しい詩であるソネットをとりあげます。しかもアメリカのソネットです。何となれば、アメリカ詩史には反ソネット的といってもいい伝統がある一方、19世紀中盤以降、すぐれたソネットが目立たぬところで作られてきたからです。たとえば、伝統を逸脱し、あれほど自由で独創的な表記や詩型を試みたcummingsは、Whitmanと同じ自由で革新的な詩人の系譜に連なりますが、ときにソネットへ帰り、古いソネットを融通無碍に操ろうとする実験をおこなっていました。本授業では、さらにMillayらの作品も加え、アメリカのソネットにはどのような新味や格闘が隠されているのかを考察し、詩人たちの多様な特徴を体感します。
